The Australian Open success seems light years away. Roger Federer closes American trip with the third round at Indian Wells and Miami in the second round. Far too little for number 1 in the world. The Swiss no longer the undisputed ruler of world tennis. The long break has certainly taken off rhythm and confidence at No. 1 in the world. Federer managed to get worse last year when he brought home two semifinals in the first two Masters 1000 season.

This time he lost to Swiss tennis players outside the top 10 of the world. At Indian Wells to stop it was Marcos Baghdatis Tomas Berdych in Miami, two top 10 talent but currently still outside the top of the world.
